New Peugeot 108 – four engines, all emitting less than 100g/km CO2

23 Feb 2014

The all-new Peugeot 108 is available as the 108 Hatchback and the 108 TOP!, which has a retractable fabric roof. It also comes with efficient three-cylinder engines and the vehicle as a whole weighs from just 840kg.

The 108 has three or five doors, with a choice of four petrol three-cylinder power units, all of which emit less than 100g/km CO2:

▪ 1.0-litre e-VTi 68bhp 5-speed manual – 88g/km CO2 Stop & Start

▪ 1.0-litre VTi 68bhp 5-speed manual – 95g/km CO2

▪ 1.0-litre VTi 68bhp 5-speed electronic – 97g/km CO2,

▪ 1.2-litre PureTech VTi 82bhp 5-speed manual – 99g/km CO2

Peugeot has been designing the interiors of its 208, 2008 and 308 with a small steering wheel and a speedometer that sits above the rim of the wheel. The 108 instead has a speedometer housing that forms part of the steering column and is adjustable for height. There’s also a central 7-inch touch-screen display which can display the screen of a connected smartphone, allowing the driver to operate their phone from the car’s touch-screen.

The new Peugeot 108 will have its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday 4th March, and will go on sale in the UK on 1st July 2014.
